Hitchcock - best?

First rate thriller movie coming after the days of the classic studio system: for adults/late teens.

More relaxed thriller, but one more likely to be enjoyed many times. Stewart, who is in this and who was younger than Cary Grant, seems clearly too old or unlikely for Grace Kelly when Grant didn't seem so in their later co-starring feature; but you adjust.

For many, the best of Hitchcock's 30's movies, one which also set a standard for the chase thriller. Robert Donat, as always, first rate, has good "chemistry" with Madeleine Carroll and overcomes a slight hoariness due to the age of the movie. Excellent features of romantic comedy make it less tense than the later Saboteur.

Quality movie, beautifully acted by Grant and Fontaine. Has a nice and interesting tension without continuously being edge of the seat.

Another great innocent man chase movie, with some great set pieces but lacking the romantic comedy strivings of The 39 Steps.

Top rate detective/murder story featuring John Williams as the detective: his best role in movies. It is one of the best Hitchcock stories (though of course not written/originating with him) Focuses in on the principals involved, one of whom is Grace Kelly. There's nothing I'd change about it.

Interesting and enjoyable. Tension, and psychological and relationship issues with Hedren and Connery

Terrific yarn. Different to anything else he produced. In B&W and suits being so. Definitely takes you on a journey.

Hitchcock's return to the seeming relentless chase movie, following on from 39 Steps and Saboteur, with perhaps his most glamorous male star, Cary Grant. Longer and therefore creakier but more glamorous than the earlier ones and in colour.

Another strange, but effective movie. Ends suddenly without an explanation of events. with Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor.

Another movie of growing suspicion. I don't like it, though many do.

For some reason this has a bad reputation. In some ways more realistic than most of his movies. It is well acted, interesting and suspenseful with several very memorable scenes.

There is a coldness about Hitchcock's movies to a greater or lesser degree. Thanks to Bergman and Peck and perhaps the influence of producer Selznick, less so here. A good yarn, with psychological mumbo jumbo and a Dali dream sequence.

Very poor script and acting. Despite featuring Alistair Sim, not recommended.

Dull. Very dull.

If you made a chair which looked beautiful but you couldn't sit on it, it might not be thought effective. Vertigo starts off excitingly with an action scene. However the follow up scene makes the movie unbelievable. Other than that it is beautifully filmed with an excellent performance from Stewart, as well as Bel Geddes,and an ok performance from Novak. The essential plot point is also --for me -- highly unconvincing.

Solid, well made and acted non-chase thriller with Montgomery Clift.

interesting idea, doesn't work, for me. Not keen on the actors involved.

Black and white almost relentlessly downbeat story of imprisonment of "The Wrong Man." Lacks any of Hitchcock's light touch. Features Henry Fonda in perhaps the least of his social issue films (the best ones being The Ox-Bow Incident, The Grapes of Wrath and Twelve Angry Men).

Apart from the glamour of locations and stars and their chemistry and a few fun double entendres, their is very little to be had in this. Story negligible.

There is a key scene from Hitchcock's canon featuring a bomb on a bus, but otherwise not particularly interesting/memorable

Quirky in general and in its casting but interesting and engaging spy story set largely in a hotel ? in the Swiss alps.

No crime here but a fairly engaging slightly screwball romantic comedy which for me works because of Carole Lombard. Her main co-star, Robert Montgomery, works well also.

Hard to follow/care about thriller

Doris Day sings and otherwise decent middle range Hitchcock suspense film.

Repetitive unrealistic plot point and nothing else sufficiently interesting happening. I may have to watch it again to appreciate it; or maybe my first impression is right.

Well acted by Stewart. Well filmed. Kind of an experimental film (in colour) released to the public. But a nasty little story which won't pick you up.

Well made and acted b/w film set in a Lifeboat. Within its limitations very good, but it feels a limitation emotionally somehow.

With a fine script, tour de force acting in many roles (Robert Benchley, Edmund Gwenn, Herbert Marshall, George Sanders, including a fine female lead in Laraine Day and a well acted performance from MCrea) lots of deft comedy touches and set pieces, I recommend this highly!

Bergman, Grant and Rains all act very well here but the story is flimsy, and it is hard to sympathise with anyone much. The ending -- with its cliched extended emotional exposition when the leads should be getting the hell out of there --- is annoying. And then it ends abruptly.

Appalling costume and make up for the men and an unsubtle performances, in particular from Charles Laughton, are mitigated by the straightforward characterization of Maureen O'Hara in her debut feature role.

Well cast and engagingly performed, amazingly well shot, despite the seemingly poor opening tracking shot, and the script works. Great entertainment to leave a smile on your face.
